Mr. Charles Adam Rogers, beloved husband to Lilian (Holland) Rogers of
Seeleys Cove NB. Born at Pocologan NB on March 24, 1927, he was a son
of the late William G. and Irene (Taylor) Rogers.
A loving husband, father,
grandfather and brother, he is survived by his loving wife Lilian, his
son; George (Diane) Rogers of Thompson Manitoba, his daughters: Brenda
(Paul) Melonson of Seeleys Cove NB and Cynthia Rogers (David Pyke of
Halifax NS, six grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, his sister;

predeceased by his brothers: David and Edward and his sisters: Mary
McCartie and Ethel Gilmore.
Prior to his retirement,
Charlie began with serving a number of years with the Royal Canadian
Army Infantry in Germany following the War as a peacekeeper. Following
the war Charlie travelled throughout the country and worked many
places doing maintenance work for various employers including
maintenance supervisor for the town of Annapolis Royal NS and later
close to home at the Pennfield Sawmill. He also worked as a self
employed carpenter-maintenance person throughout the area as his
“jack of all trades” talent made him very handy and
available to his many friends and acquaintances needing service in one
trade or another. He was always there to lend a helping hand to anyone
in need or with a project.
Charlie also spent some time
on the water as a fisherman, which he also enjoyed. Charlie spent many
years involved with the Boy Scouts of Canada, an organization that was
near to his heart. Camping and travelling were also favorite pastimes
enjoyed by Charlie as he frequented many campgrounds throughout the
years as well as his favorite spot in McAdam. He also enjoyed playing
card attending music jams and even maintenance work were among his
favorite hobbies he would enjoy.
Charlie was also a very active
member of Christ Church (Anglican) in Pennfield where he held various
positions including vestry and cemetery committee and along with his
late companion Carrol McGarrigle completed or overseen many of the
churches projects over the years. He also was a member and past
president of the Royal Canadian Legion branch #40 in St. George and as
well as Annapolis Royal NS. He will be sadly missed by his family,
friends and all who knew him.
Resting at the St. George
Funeral Home & Crematorium (755-3533) with visiting on Monday
from 6-8 pm with Covid 19 protocols in effect. A private family
service will be held from Christ Church (Anglican) in Pennfield NB
